SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 28, 2007, the IRS and 

the Treasury Department published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (REG–

107592–00) in the Federal Register (72 

FR 55139) which proposed to amend 

§ 1.1502–13(g) (regarding the treatment 

of transactions involving obligations 

between members of a consolidated 

group) and to add § 1.1502–

13(e)(2)(ii)(C) (regarding the treatment of 

certain transactions involving the 

provision of insurance between 

members of a consolidated group). 

Under proposed § 1.1502–

13(e)(2)(ii)(C), certain intercompany 

insurance transactions would be taken 

into account on a single entity basis. 

Written comments were received with 

respect to proposed § 1.1502–

13(e)(2)(ii)(C). After consideration of 

these comments, the IRS and the 

Treasury Department have decided to 

withdraw proposed § 1.1502–

13(e)(2)(ii)(C). However, the IRS and the 

Treasury Department continue to study 

whether revisions to the rules for 

intercompany transactions are necessary 

to clearly reflect the taxable income of 

consolidated groups.

proposed rulemaking (REG–107592–00) 

that was published in the Federal 

Register on September 28, 2007 (72 FR

Fees, Import/Export Licenses, and 

Import/Export License Exemptions 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of 

meeting. 

SUMMARY: We propose to revise subpart 

I—Import/Export Licenses, of title 50 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations, part 14, 

(50 CFR 14) to clarify the import/export 

license and fee requirements, adjust the 

user fee schedule and update license 

and user fee exemptions. We propose to 

clarify when an import/export license is 

required by persons who engage in the 

business of importing and exporting 

wildlife as well as change the license 

requirement exemptions. Revised 

regulations will help those importing 

and exporting wildlife better understand 

when an import/export license is 

required and will allow us to 

consistently apply these requirements. 

We also propose to change our user fee 

structure for the importation and 

exportation of wildlife and the fee 

exemptions. We propose to generally 

increase these fees and publish the 

changes for 2008 through 2012. We 

determined that these fees must be 

adjusted every year to cover the 

increased cost of providing these 

services. By publishing these user fee 

changes in advance, importers and 

exporters can accurately predict the 

costs of importing and exporting 

wildlife several years in advance. 

DATES: We will accept comments 

received or postmarked on or before 

April 25, 2008. See the SUPPLEMENTARY
